wing, then broken off; 18 joints present. Antennary joints of 
the flagellum long, as in Perientomum, sparsely beset with long 
hairs. The lengths of the existing antennary joints in millims. 
are: 0°06, 0°08 (basal joints), 0°19, 0°15, 0°14, 0°12, 0:09, 0:09.

Maxillary palp brilliant black, pubescence gray ; end joint thick, 
broad, obliquely truncate at end. 
Thorax dark reddish brown ; mesonotum, as it appears, has been 
covered with dark brown scales which, however, in the present 
specimens have been rubbed off. Legs brown to black-brown, ends 
of the tibize and tarsi brownish yellow. The length of the anterior 
tibia is 0°57 mm., of the middle tibia 0°65 mm., of the posterior 
tibia 1:05 mm. The lengths of the tarsal joints in the fore foot are 
respectively 0°24, 0:07, 0:08 millims.; in the middle foot 0°25, 0:07, 
0:08 ; in the hind foot 0°42, 0:07, 0°08. The ratio of the hind tarsal 
joints is therefore as 54: 4:1. First hind tarsal joint.with about 
17 ctenidiobothria. Claws (fig. 59) large, with large stout tooth 
rather distant from the thin apex, long setiform semi-circular 
empodial appendix curved inwards and a small tooth between this 
and the tooth before the apex. 
Wing large, very broad, and relatively short, strongly rounded 
at the apex. Membrane of fore wing blackish brown. Veins dark 
brown. Pterostigma very narrow, but deep. Peduncle of the 
radial cell short, m, ending below the apex. Scaling dark brown 
with intense red silken lustre (fig. 8); in a second specimen this 
lustre is dull dark greenish ; it appears to be subject to great variation. 
Marginal hair rather short, that of the anterior margin up to the 
apex blackish, that of the outer margin up to the apex bright yellow 
with silken lustre (fig. 8). Hind wing hyaline, veins gray brown ; 
marginal hair long, gray. Membrane of the apical third and a narrow 
zone at the anterior and posterior margin pubescent. Radial cell, R, 
fairly narrow. Membrane brightly iridescent from red to green. 
Scales ovate (fig. 44), partly feebly truncate at the end, though 
strongly rounded. Marginal scales (rs) narrow and long, truncate 
at the end, but rounded at the angles. 
Length of fore wing 2°4 mm. wing expanse 54 mm.
